Memories Within Miss Aggie is a 1974 American pornographic film directed by Gerard Damiano and starring Deborah Ashira, Eric Edwards, Harry Reems and Darby Lloyd Rains. The film pays homage to both Damiano's previous skin flick The Devil in Miss Jones and Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
Plot The narrative structure of the film involves a woman, the eponymous Miss Aggie, recounting her previous sexual encounters to her lover. The younger incarnations of Miss Aggie are played by other actresses. The veracity of Miss Aggie's memory is in doubt.
